Canvas Frontier

The world's living canvas. Pick any color, move across a shared world, and place pixels alongside everyone else. No account, no ads, and no pixel currency—just a live public drawing that changes over time.

64 × 64 Canvases

Each public sheet holds 4,096 editable pixels. Coordinates make it possible to revisit artwork or share a hidden spot.

A Growing Plane

Optional sponsorships can open a nearby canvas or launch a distant public sector. Sponsorship unlocks access for everyone; it does not create private ownership.

Anonymous, Not Unmoderated

The game needs no visible login. Reporting, contributor blocking, and anonymous observer codes help keep the shared space manageable.
